A list of individuals and their titles, any two of which are jointly authorized to assign, sell, or otherwise dispose of any and all registered United States securities or securities for which the Treasury Department acts as transfer agency and any and all securities, including stocks and bonds, will be provided to the Vice President for Finance by the Chancellors and Directors and updated when authorized individuals change, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis.
